    So basically they’re explicitly condoning it. That’s not just bad, but even worse that they’re doubling down that a delete+reinstall will charge the dev twice.

    This will end a lot of indie projects and they’ve basically destroyed their good standing in indie dev circles.

      It’s time to chuck unity in the bin. If not Godot, go for unreal… though I would check their requirements beforehand first.

        Hard to chuck unity in the bin when you don’t use unity.

        We’re lucky there are enough other engines on the market at the moment, but eventually someone will need to spearhead a FOSS engine with blackjack and hookers.

          Godot is a FOSS engine.

              I’d make my own branch with BJ and hookers, but both GCC and Clang failed to compile :(

              I’m sure somebody somewhere has made both of those games in Godot. Lol
